Z/X: Code Reunion

About Z/X: Code Reunion

Here is what Z/X: Code Reunion (Z/X Code reunion) is about, retold in plain terms: an adventure, fantasy and sci-fi anime by Passione (2019). The premise: Years ago, interdimensional gates opened across our world, allowing beings from five warring dimensions to expand their fights to the Earth. Now, though, the Z/X and mankind are settling into an uneasy peace and some humans are entering into pacts with the interdimensional newcomers.

Along the way, for one young woman this is a simple choice: Azumi Kakamigahara can sign a pact with the beautiful Z/X known as Rigel, or succumb to the disease that has left her comatose for much of her life. What Azumi doesn’t expect is that it means moving to a new Academy where teams of young women and their Z/X partners are being secretly trained to face the next wave of hostile attackers… and no sooner have Azumi and her new.

As an adventure title, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Rigel (Aya Uchida) and Azumi Kagamigahara (Yui Ogura) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.

Production & Appeal

Passione is the studio behind Z/X: Code Reunion, and its direction shapes everything from character design to motion. The adventure focus matters here: exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. With a 5.5/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. On the casting side, Aya Uchida voicing Rigel gives the lead role a recognizable voice. Released in 2019, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
